Thanks you for the response everyone . I found them in the wild . Hernando County Florida is where I live it has dense woods and marshes. There are many species of trees and shrubs here that aren't native here. I live in central florida on the gulf coast. I really appreciate the help.

Hey guys.bwaynef I updated my location on my profile.lol. Jkent You are sooo right. The foliage seems to be maturing at the tips or on new growth only. I did a little research on e.red cedar which I couldnt gather much. But i did read a bit on foliage. They also said that the foliage will always be a mix of mature and immature leaves. I will keep them on my bench (collected shipping pallets,lol) and see what happens.The trunk seems to thicken pretty fast. They recently shed there old bark. Again thank you and Take care guys.

Haha Sorce ,man we think alike dude. I've checked out may sites that create cool ish with pallets. I want to make a nice sized raised garden for my friends mom . She is in the beginning of mental illness but she loves plants. I want to make about a foot and a half off the ground. And about 3 1/2 feet tall. I take her plants and she drowns them. So maybe the raised garden will survive her heavy watering. I think it'll help her somehow. I want To make a good sized working table with a rack to hang my gardening tools. And some benches. But yeah. Do you have any other pallet projects ?
